Y/N POV

The night was cool and quiet. No sound but the wind riffling through the trees and the cars driving down the roads. A normal night in New York. Ok maybe not in New York, but in my head as I finished installing EMMA. My room was now equipped with her in control of everything. I had initiated a lock down protocol, and switch protocol. Lock Down meant exactly what you'd think. Nobody goes in Nobody goes out. Switched was just to change from room to room.

My phone and laptop had her in charge with face, fingerprint and voice recognition. The glasses had no real lenses in them. They could switch into any type I wanted while still looking normal and having EMMA inside.

I had tried to do it as quietly as possible and as soon as EMMA was in control I sound proofed my wall so that Nat wouldn't be disturbed by any noises. I felt bad about waking her up last night and didn't want to do it again.

I stayed in my room tinkering and planning. It was now 1:25 so I only had around 4 and a half hours until I could be up and about and have it be deemed normal. I made a list of who I should let see my room. Here it was along with some notes as to why.

Wanda (She could read minds. better to tell her before she reads it off someone else.)

Steve (He's pretty chill and wont tell if I ask him not to)

Bucky (Same as Steve)

Clint (He's already suspicious of my room)

Pietro (He's pretty chill)

Tony and Peter (Tony because he can't keep any secrets and Peter will tell him everything)

The rest (Just because)

It was now 2. The room was sound proof so you decided to start building some more. Stark knew that Fury loved you and to not upset him he had given you a humongous room. I mean massive. Most of it had things in it but I made sure to leave the middle of the room clear. I quietly moved to the door and walked out looking both ways. I needed some supplies from the workshop.

I tiptoed over to the elevator with my glasses on making sure to keep as quiet as possible. I walked into the elevator and pressed the button for Tony's workshop. He had all the supplies I needed. JARVIS didn't seem bothered with the fact that I was up again and we just had casual conversation. Or as casual as a robot can have with a human.

I walked into the lab to see Tony tinkering away at something. I wasn't expecting him to be here since Pepper came back yesterday. Just then Pepper seemed to notice that he wasn't there because she groggily walked down the stairs connecting their room to his workshop.

"Tony I told you to come up a- oh I didn't notice you there. hey." Pepper says noticing my presence in the room.

"Notice who th- AHH! How long have you been standing there." Tony says scared.

"Not very long. I didn't know you were down here." I state

"Well he's not supposed to be down here" Pepper says looking to Tony

"What are you doing here" Tony asks pointing at me

"I'm looking for supplies." I say matter a factly

"What supplies. and since when have you had those glasses?" Tony says noticing them on my face. Pepper had left probably assuming that I would get him to bed. Or at least keep him company

"I've always had them. I just wear contacts during the day and use these at night. " I lied he would find out about EMMA soon. Probably tonight but whatever

"Well ok. There my supplies so you can use them in here." He says

"Alright" I say

We worked in a comfortable silence. EMMA playing music in my ears as I worked. I would dance ever so slightly and whenever Tony noticed he would send me a confused look. I tinkered with some stuff. At one point I needed some help from EMMA but I knew Tony would hear. I did it anyways knowing it wouldn't do me any harm.

"Hey EM scan the room for some extra vibranium I could use." I say looking up. I looked all over the room while EMMA scanned.

"Who are you talking to?" Tony asked confused. EMMA quickly found some discarded pieces in the corner under a desk and I scurried over to bring them to my work station.

"Thanks EM" I say totally ignoring Tony. He comes over and taps me on the shoulder. I look at him wondering why he interrupted my work.

"Who were you talking to?" He asks again

"Oh that was just EMMA." I say casually trying to finish this conversation so I can continue my work.

"OK who's Emma." He asks still not piecing things together

"My personalized AI." I say mater a factly

"Personalized A- since when do you have a personalized AI" He asks confused

"Since a couple hours ago. I have been working on it for a while but got a lot more done with your stuff." I explain

"Oh so your the one who keeps coming in here and taking stuff."

"Yea its in my room if you want it back" I say apologetically. 

"No no its fine. Can I speak to EMMA?" He asks curiously. I hand him my glasses. He looks at them confused for a second before realizing  EMMA was programed into them.

He puts them on and start asking basic things I didn't think to restrict his access and let him just look through anything. He then suddenly asked about protocols. My head whipped up hopping that he didn't do the switched protocol.

"EMMA show me the switched protocol" Tony asked. I jumped at him trying to get the glasses off of his face. The look of surprise on his face was enough to tell me he had already seen everything I had in my room. The glasses would show him what was happening for the protocol

He took the glasses of his face and looked at me in confusion. He handed them to me silently and just thought for a few moments. Finally he spoke.

"What the FUCK did you do to your room?!" He half yelled. I was sure he was mad about it and was so scarred.

"J-just redecorated it. I-I'm sorry" I stammer looking at the ground. I hurriedly put my glasses on and ran back to my room before he could say anything, tears streaming down my face. I put my room back to normal and lied in bed trying my best to sleep.

(This is a longer one, sorry)
